How right-wingers shut down debate
First topic message reminder :
MARLM-PSSSS is my acronym for the debate-ending names liberals are called by conservatives.
If you disagree with the right, you are one or all of the following -- a Muslim apologist, regressive, leftist, multiculturalist, pedophile supporter, socialist, SJW, snowflake.

But all anybody seems to do is equate my defense of the basic human rights of Muslims with support of the most far-right extremist Islamic beliefs.
Sorry, but I refuse to descend into the world of stupid talk where everyone from the same ill-defined group must believe the same things. Every single individual has a different take on the world, regardless of where they're from or what they were raised to believe.
Sorry but how are you defending human and civil rights for Muslims?
Nobody is saying all have the same beliefs, far from it, this is about Islamic beliefs
For example as seen above, do you condemn the forced oppression of Muslim women to cover up?
Have you defended Muslim School children refusing to shake the hands of their female teachers?
Are you critical of the schools of thought in Islam on homosexuality?
Women's Rights?

Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
I have always stood up for the human rights of Muslims. We had a wave of hate crime after the 9/11 attacks, people being intimidated, hurt and killed who love this country and had nothing to do with the attacks.
I don't support oppression of any kind. I do, however, allow that there are faithful Muslim women who believe that they should cover up, and if that's how they want to live their lives, I wouldn't get in the way. If not -- I wouldn't get in the way of that either.
You should not be forced to shake hands any more so than you should be forced to cover up. It's not a life-or-death thing.
I am critical of Islamic strains and any other faith group's offshoots when they deny equal rights to gays and/or women. You know me -- I believe all religions are false and that everyone should have the same opportunities in life. And that those who can't seize upon those opportunities as well as others should at least be afforded a life of dignity.
And yet, I remain a fire-breathing liberal lefty who will not let my beliefs be defined by my critics.

Where have you stood up for the rights of Muslims in Muslim majority countries?
Where have you stood up for the rights of Muslims in your own country, when they are through a fear of ostracization, forced to wear the veil or Hijab?
So you don't want to be critical of a belief. You are happy to stand by why people hold a belief that is born from fear, that if they do not wear they are blamed for the sexual desires of men and will suffer in an imaginary hell?
So you are defending inequality where Muslim boys are taught its haram to touch a female, even though there is nothing in the Quran that teaches this. This is where the inequality starts. That women are deemed inferior to men, and you are happy not to challenge this. That by touching women its unclean to do so, thus again degrading women.
There is nothing Liberal about your views above, because you fear to challenge poor beliefs if the person is Muslim (not Christian). Thinking wrongly, that by doing makes you prejudice against Muslims. It does not. We did not change poor beliefs in the West by refusing to not challenge them and be critical of them. No belief is free from ridicule or criticism and its this kind of belief to remain silent, that sees countless Muslim women oppressed.
I am glad you defend Muslims, as I would from any hate because of 9/11, which I have already spoke of, but you refuse to challenge or be critical of poor beliefs.

So, Ben is only critical of Muslims when they destroy a few Buddha carvings. He doesn't care about the Beheadings, the Rapes.the Torture of prisoners ect, he only feels a little concern when they destroy carvings !

I care about all of that, Nicko. I wish you (and others) would realize that about me.
I also care about decent Muslims, who are just living their lives and not hurting anybody, who get caught up in and harmed by the anti-Muslim feelings.
Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
Can we get past the stupid notion that because you don't comment on every single thing, it means you don't care about it? That's basically strawmanning.

But all of us care about Muslims and people in general. That does not mean you should not be critical of bad beliefs.
Now lets change this to another belief
Republicanism.
Are you critical of Republicanism?
Yes
Very much so, so why not Islam?
Do you care about decent Republicans also?
Are they hurting anybody, who get caught up in and harmed by the anti-Republican feelings.

That is gibberish.
Either you stand by the principles of Liberalism, by defending equality for example, or you do not.

You're misrepresenting my view and what I have said, and I would thank you to A) give me a little benefit of the doubt and B) stop misrepresenting me.
I don't support oppression. Period. If you can name an example of legitimate oppression, I will oppose it, I promise you.
There are many adult women, for example -- Muslim, Christian, whatever -- who do things for reasons you and I might deem oppressive but which they have interpreted as being something that brings them closer to a deity that they love and worship. Maybe you're egotistical enough to try to jump into the middle of that -- I choose to let people do what they will as long as it's not hurting anyone else.
Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
To put it a bit more simply, I draw a line of distinction between "Daddy told me God doesn't want me to show off my legs" and "Daddy told me God doesn't want me to learn to read."

Please show me where I am misrepresenting your views?
Nobody is saying you support oppression, but you fail to condemn or speak out on these oppressions and have clearly here defended a poor belief that backs inequality. Where Muslim school children are taught to refuse to shake their female teachers hands.
Its up to people what they believe, but are you saying you should not speak out against such beliefs, when in fact it does oppress women and homosexuals, who are denied equal rights? By refusing to condemn, you end up failing those oppressed.
Again the west did not progress due to people like yourself failing to speak up against bad beliefs

Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
Okay, it's 1 a.m. here and I'm not going to go into this much more. I'll just say that you can't pull the rug out from under people and expect everything to be fine. Change has to happen at a pace people can psychologically manage. So you focus on the violence first, then social inequality.
By the way, that's an effective strategy. What's not an effective strategy, as we should have learned since the Brexit and Trump votes, is telling people they're wrong and stupid. You do that enough and they go out and do something really stupid just to rub your face in it. It may not be ideologically pure, but it does less harm, and I'm all about doing less harm.
And now I'm closing my browser and going to bed, so you can reply if you like but I won't see it ... damn you ...

Yes change has to happen at pace Ben, of which I agree, but its not going to happen at all. If people refuse to speak out on bad beliefs, wrongly thinking it makes them anti-Muslim for example. You see you even do this above wrongly equating to say its wrong to speak out on women being oppressed. You are saying that is not an effective strategy?
Tell that to the women being oppressed.
We should be speaking about it as much as we can to show and highlight why something is wrong.
You conflate wrongly being critical of beliefs, with that of individuals.
You certainly do not apply this methodology when speaking out against Republicanism or Republicans themselves. So why do you hold Islam to a different standard than you do Republicanism?
Have a good sleep

Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
This makes my point very well on the right to ridicule bad beliefs....
When Dogma came out, church groups protested. Kevin Smith was so excited that his movie drew that much attention that he joined the protest. Nobody at the protest knew he was the director. The protest got picked up by the local news, and they interviewed one of the protestors, which happened to be Kevin Smith. This is Kevin telling the story, followed by the clip from the actual news report:

Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
what do you mean by ,multiculturalism. do you mean lots of different cultures existing in ghettos and not mixing with any other as is very much the way ,multiculturalism has gone in europe. Or do you mean people embracing the ethos of the host country whilst retaining a connection with the past they left behind?Ben Reilly wrote:Raggamuffin wrote:Any "insults" that are thrown at lefties are nothing compared to the insults that are thrown by lefties.

No. Calling someone a multiculturalist implies they are just as big a part of a potential hurt to the planet as calling someone a Nazi is, on the basis of the meaning behind the insult.
I have been told that my belief in multiculturalism will destroy Western civilization. Don't you think that affects me?

Lez, go and kiss your boyfriend in any of the gulf states or most of the islamic country's in the world and see how tolerant they are.Eilzel wrote:Thorin wrote:
This is a concern. While some prominent Muslims do make it clear they do support all equal rights (like Maajid Nawaz and Mehdi Hasan) and I have gotten to know a few who have no issue with those groups- it is still a fact there is conflict between Islamic groups and the rights of women, gay people and those of other faiths.
It is also a problem, as this cartoon raises, when some liberals totally brush over the fact that this is a problem. Far more of a problem, in fact, than that of the Republicans. I think this should be brought into the open at every opportunity. I am totally in support of treating those of all faiths equally (while being allowed to mock their faiths too ). But we must be able to openly criticize views not fitting in with advanced social attitudes.
And as for being a woman in an islamic country, good luck there.

maybe most Muslims do not subscribe directly to the actions of daesh, but most subscribe to the fundamental issue of islam dominating the world at some point.

You are equating those who are illiberal and regressive.
You do understand the difference do you not Tommy?
Someone who is Liberal professes progressive attributes and stands for Liberal values
So please explain to me how any Liberal cannot be progressive and then show the difference?

Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
The illiberal and regressive try to pass themselves off as liberal and progressive...

There are distinct differences...
And you can't be both a 'liberal' and a 'progressive' in the current definition of the terms... as they are opposites like 'sanity' and 'insanity'...

So you admit, there is no difference between Liberals and progressives then Tommy?
You just admitted that Illiberal's and regressive's try to pass themselves off as Liberal and progressive.

They may call themselves progressives, but you just admitted they are not even Liberal Tommy.
You clearly stated that Illiberal's call themselves progressives.
So if they pretend to be Liberal, how can they be Liberal?
Thus how can there be a difference between Liberalism and progressiveness?
Like I said, there is none and you have just admitted there is none, by going off Illiberal's

It was very amusing to see him get tied up in knots.

He spouts a load of outright crap -- you do yourself a grave disservice by using his lies as any sort of truth. You still don't understand the proper meanings of words like "liberal, progressive, leftie, or socialist", do you ???
You really must get yourself a proper education.
As for the country with the largest proportion of Muslims -- that would br Indonesia, with around 90% of its 220+ million population -- more than Pakistan, India, Turkey, or Iran, or Saudi Arabia.
And it still remains a secular country overall..

so god tells you to stop your daughter wearing certain things?eddie wrote:The Devil, You Know wrote:

Erm, yes? I'll discourage my own daughter from wearing certain revealing things when she's older (I won't force her but I will try and dissuade and advise her) but I certainly won't ever be advising her to put a book down.
did you not understand the point?

Re: How right-wingers shut down debate
one day you will learn to respond with about abuse, You dont understand islam and when you do perhaps anything you say may be taken seriously.WhoseYourWolfie wrote:The Devil, You Know wrote:
you say ultra conservative, most would say standard islamic views. the moderates are in the minority, not the majority.
maybe most Muslims do not subscribe directly to the actions of daesh, but most subscribe to the fundamental issue of islam dominating the world at some point.
the fact that those on the left rarely stand up against even the extremists rather shows their hypocrisy and stupidity. Being right on and in support of Muslims will not stop the radicals from hacking your head from your neck.

And you do understand Islam?
Really?
Islam has many different schools of thought.
You then contradict being abusive again yourself.
Hilarious on both counts

Care to back up your accusation?
In your own time, show where I am not Liberal in my views?
Or Eilzel?
Or Fred for example?
Fred maybe conservative, but it also holds and stands by Liberal values.

So clearly, you claim any nation that has terrorism, is not a bastion of decency then?
The vast majority of nations in the world then?

You made an idiotic point, which I easily refuted.
